City Lord Zhou's words even moved all the City Lords present.
Although the Cheng family is refusing to give in, City Lord Zhou has promised not to use force against the various alliances.
If this is the case, then they really don't have to worry about the Cheng family annexing them.
Even if this is confirmed, they can indeed devote enough energy to think of other solutions in the next few years.
If the Cheng family has been plotting against them, then they will have no time to think of ways to make the alliance prosperous. They have racked their brains every day to deal with the Cheng family.
"City Lord Zhou, is what you just said true? If we are willing to open all the gates, will the Cheng family really not annex all of our territory in the future?" City Lord Hai asked.
"Of course, you can ask City Lord Bai. The reason why the Baicheng Alliance joined our Cheng family is not because we annexed them, but because he chose to join himself!" City Lord Zhou pointed to City Lord Bai beside him and said to everyone. .
"That's right, although our Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family's territory were adjacent to each other in the past, the Cheng family has never harassed our Baicheng Alliance for so many years.
It was also in order to seek better development that I took the initiative to join the Cheng family. "City Lord Bai is very sensible. At this critical moment, he naturally stood up and explained to everyone.
However, City Lord Bai also despised City Lord Zhou in his heart.
The Cheng family did not forcefully annex the Baicheng Alliance, but the Baicheng Alliance was in trouble at the time. If they had not surrendered to the Cheng family, the Cheng family would not have helped the Baicheng Alliance resolve the crisis, and they would not have appeared here.
Therefore, although the Cheng family did not take the initiative to expand and annex the Baicheng Alliance's territory, the Baicheng Alliance was forced to a dead end by the Cheng family.
But no matter what, he couldn't say that the Cheng family took the initiative to annex their Baicheng Alliance. After all, he was the one who found the Cheng family in the first place.
If he hadn't approached the Cheng family, the White City Alliance would have been eaten up by these alliances in front of them.
What's more, under the current situation, he can't dismantle City Lord Zhou, otherwise, he will never get help from City Lord Zhou in the future.
Seeing that City Lord Bai has taken the initiative to speak for City Lord Zhou, these city Lords obviously have a little more trust. Maybe what City Lord Zhou said this time is still reliable.
"City Lord Zhou, although we all basically believe what you said, I think it is unfounded and words in black and white are more reliable.
Why don't you write a promise to all of us that the Cheng family will not take the initiative to attack us and annex our territory in the future. In this case, we will definitely no longer worry about whether the Cheng family will be detrimental to us! "These city lords discussed it together, and City Lord Hai stood up and said.
"Ask me to write down a promise? This is impossible! I have said this to you, and I have made it very clear to you. Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter to me or our Cheng family.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for me to write this promise.
In addition, I am just reminding you and pointing out a clear path for you. If you don't handle this matter according to our Cheng family's ideas, then the result will definitely be unbearable for you.
I don’t want to talk to you so much nonsense anymore. Today I just want you to say a word. Are you willing to open all the gates for free? "City Lord Zhou was obviously a little impatient.
He is just a city lord in the Cheng family. He can say something on behalf of the Cheng family, but he cannot make any promises on behalf of the Cheng family.
Even if the Cheng family did not intend to annex them, these words must not come out of his mouth.
If the head of the family or the elders of the Cheng family knew about it, those who knew him would be fine, but if they didn't know, they would think that he wanted to be the head of the Cheng family.
Therefore, he could only talk about this matter verbally with everyone, and if they believed it, the matter would be settled.
If they don't believe it, then it's up to them how to choose.
Anyway, for the Cheng family, peace or war is a matter of their choice.
City Lord Zhou's toughness once again frustrated the ideas of various City Lords, especially in the face of City Lord Zhou's attitude, they had no choice at all.
Fight, but can't. Say, they won’t tell you at all.
Sure enough, strength is king. Only with strength can you have the right to speak. Without strength, no matter how touching your words are, it will have no meaning.
"City Lord Zhou, I am willing to accept your request!" City Lord Hai had no other choice. They had retreated again and again, but the Cheng family's attitude was too tough and they did not give them any chance at all.
No matter what, it is absolutely impossible to start a war with the Cheng family.
When they brought people to Qingyang City, they were actually just worried that the Cheng family would do something bad to them.
But now, the people they brought obviously have no effect.
Since the Cheng family doesn't want to go to war with them, do they still want to take the initiative to go to war with others?
At least there are so many alliances here, and I'm afraid no alliance has the courage. Because even if someone dares to do this, it will be difficult for other alliances to stand on the same front.
Therefore, no one dares to take this risk.
In this case, it is better to make a decision directly, there is no need to argue with the Cheng family anymore.
If the Cheng family really plans to expand its territory again one day, the alliances adjacent to them will definitely be the first to suffer. Even if they have a promise, it will actually be of no use.
If the Cheng family really doesn't plan to annex their territory, then they will be safe without this promise.
Therefore, he didn't want to continue arguing like this.
"I am also willing to accept City Lord Zhou's request!" Seeing that City Lord Qinghe and City Lord Hai had already made their choices first, some other City Lords also saw the situation clearly and quickly expressed their stance.
"We are also willing to accept City Lord Zhou's request!" Watching the city Lords below one after another make compromise choices, those who did not make a choice were helpless and anxious.
Although they know that they may really only be able to go on this road, this road is really not that good. No matter how much resistance they have in their hearts, no one really dares to stand up and speak out. They can only As the other city lords expressed their compromises one by one.
"Since everyone here has made a choice, it seems that I can only choose to compromise!" Finally, Lord Wu had to sigh.
It was only at this time that all the city lords expressed their stance, and no one objected.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to object, but they don't dare to object.
Moreover, even if they object, it will not bring benefits to their alliance, but will bring unimaginable disasters.
As an alliance city lord, they obviously did not dare to make such a decision easily, especially when so many people had already compromised.
Although they made their choice, none of these city lords were happy, and everyone's expressions felt very helpless and sad.
Originally, they were surrounded by very powerful alliances, and they were the only ones who forced others. But now, they never thought that it would be their turn.
"Everyone, although you have already made your choice, I will not ask you to write down another promise.
I just hope that after you return to your own alliance, you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible.
Regarding this point, our Cheng family will not send anyone to check again. But don’t think that this will be all right.
If someone comes to the Cheng family by then and still complains that your alliance gate is blocked, or asks for money from those who pass the gate, then the Cheng family will probably not be as easy to talk to as now! "City Lord Zhou saw that every city lord stood up and expressed his position, and he was satisfied in his heart, but he still did not forget to remind them.
Although they have the strength to take down these city lords, if this matter with the White City Alliance can be solved easily and smoothly, why should he use force to solve it?
"We understand!" The city lords nodded helplessly.
At this point, they can no longer change anything and can only obey City Lord Zhou's words in everything.
"City Lord Zhou, if that's the case, can we leave Qingyang City now and return to our own alliance?" City Lord Wu stood up and said.
They originally came to Qingyang City with full confidence, thinking that with so many alliance forces, everything would go according to their ideas.
However, there is always a big gap between reality and ideals. As soon as City Lord Zhou appeared, everything completely deviated from their original development direction.
After some discussions with City Lord Zhou, in the end they failed to accomplish anything. Everything was completely under the control of City Lord Zhou.
It can be seen how failed this discussion was. What is even more annoying is that due to the strength of the Cheng family, no one among them dared to object.
Now that the matter has come to this, he no longer wants to stay in Qingyang City. It is better to return to his own territory as soon as possible. After the pass is completely opened, he should also think about how to reduce his Wucheng Alliance as much as possible. The loss of population is the most important thing.
"Of course!" City Lord Zhou nodded.
He hoped that these city lords would return to their territory as soon as possible and open all the gates so as not to affect others from going to the Cheng family.
"In that case, Wu will take his leave now. Everyone, see you later!" City Lord Wu was free and easy, knowing that everything was a foregone conclusion now. He didn't hesitate at all. After getting permission from City Lord Zhou, he left directly. After entering the main hall, a group of people were left looking at each other.
"City Lord Zhou, let's go back first!" Seeing this, some other city lords also stood up to say goodbye to City Lord Zhou.
City Lord Zhou nodded and watched them leave one by one.
At this time, he felt relieved. After staying in Qingyang City for more than a month, the matter was finally settled, except for the three city lords who did not show up!
